ith the Pacquiao Clottey fight over, we turn our attention back to Philippine politics. 
This past Monday the 15th of March, leading presidential candidate Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino said on Philippine television that he would set up a commission to investigate the various "issues" surrounding Gloria Arroyo. Some of the issues he was referring to were the "Hello Garci" cheating scandal, the Jocjoc Bolante fertilizer fund scam, and NBN-ZTE deal, all of which allege corruption and impropriety goes all the way to the office of the president.
Administration candidate Gilbert Teodoro has already gone on record that he would leave Gloria Arroyo alone if ever he becomes president. Gloria was after all his boss when he served as Secretary of Defense and she is currently the head of his political party. Unfortunately for Malacañang, Teodoro's poll numbers are stuck in the single digits, which makes his bid for the presidency highly improbable at this point.
Unlike Teodoro, a third candidate, Manuel 'Manny" Villar stands a better than even chance of winning. He has so far does not weighed-in on this issue but rumors abound that he might have struck a secret deal with Gloria Arroyo, promising to protect her and her family from future investigations if she uses the vast resources of her office to help him win.
To the many Arroyo detractors who want to make Gloria answer for all her alleged crimes, the choice is clear: a vote for Noynoy will be a vote to put Arroyo and her cronies on the dock and ask her some very tough questions. Arroyo seems to have arrived at the same conclusion because the day after Noynoy Aquino made known his intentions, Malacañang spokesman Prospero Pichay told voters to "say no to Noynoy" because according to Pichay, Noynoy would be a weak president just like his mother, Cory Aquino.
So tell us what you think. Should Gloria Arroyo be charged with corruption after she leaves office? CLICK HERE TO VOTE ON OUR POLL then send us your comments.

Filipino people have
just about had enough of Miriam Defensor-Santiago. She is loud, arrogant,
and intolerant of anyone but herself. In her Ilongo-accented diatribes
Santiago bullies anyone and everyone she dislikes or who happens not to share
her views. It is somewhat disheartening because Santiago is reasonably smart
and adequately educated—but the minute she opens her mouth, those pluses
just fly out the window.

ongoing impeachment trial of
Chief Justice Renato Corona has brought to light what appears to be a
faulty,
if not patently unconstitutional 1992 En Banc resolution of the Philippine
Supreme Court that effectively ended any public disclosure of the Statements
of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) of any Justice or Judge. Chief
Justice Andres Narvasa’s court in their ruling—A.M. No. 92-9-851-RTC, dated
September 22, 1992—resolved that henceforth all “All requests for copies of
statements of assets and liabilities of any Justice or Judge shall be filed
with the Clerk of Court of the Supreme Court or with the Court
Administrator, as the case may be, and shall state the purpose of the
request.”

Corona impeachment
trial now three days old is turning out to be somewhat of a disappointment.
The
month-long period form December 14, 2011 when the Senators first took their oaths
as Senator-Judges to the January 16 start, only served to heighten
the public’s anticipation for a blockbuster court drama that would play out
live in their livingrooms.
